BOSTON PRODUCE.
The butter market has been unsettled and
irregular most of the week and prices have
dropped little more, but at the close there
appears to be a stcadicr tone, with more in
quiry from the trade. The best Northern fall
creamery has settled down to % cents, and
June and July make rules at 30 to % cents.
Some holders still ask % to q cents for their
wcll-kept Northern summer stock but others
are willing to sell at 81 TO % cents. Very little
doing in Northern dairy. The fall stock is
nearly all used up. Winter lots are mostly of
Il poor quality, and rule at Is TO 30 cents per
pound, with selections Mt II little higher range.
No new milk lots of any account have yet ar
rived. At this time last year they were sell
ing at % to y cents. 1t is not safe to expect
over % cents this season. In cheese sales
ranged from 49,, to llc per pound, IN round
lots, and very little fine Northern factory can
be bought under II cents. In II jobbng way
sales rule ut IA, cents. The downward ten
dcncy of the egg market was checked on sat
ur'lay last, when prices touched 10 to 20 cents
ON Monday there were sales ut 20 to 81 cents,
but Tuesday 10 to 20 cents was the prevailing
range, though few sold ut 20is cents. There
has been II good trade in potatoes and prices
have gained strength. Iioulton rose, which
are in demand to go South for seed, command
G3 to G5 cents per bushel. lloulton hcbrons
are selling tor home consumption mt 63 TO Gl
cents. Other Eastern rule nj 60 cents and
Northern ut 30 to js cents. Apples have been
rather slow of sale for several days past, and
prices are easier, though without material
change. NO. baldwins are quoted ut S225 to
$3.50 per barrel, but $50 is an extreme price.
There has been moderate demand for hay
at fairly steady prices. The best grades OF
Eastern and Northern command Sl1 to sis per
ton in carloads, but very little coming in is
good enough to command the outside price
4 large portion of the sales range from Sli tu

RoLLA AND COTTONWOOD.

In Helena this week Clark Chief, Jr.,
colts from this and other sections seem
to have taken the lead in all the races,
and proven to the satisfaction ofall that
the Chiefs get may be slow to reach
that period when they can compete with
good trotters, but when they finally
reach that age they travel in the very
best of company. On Wednesday Rolla

The Election In Custer.

THURSDAYS election for councilman in
this precinct was remarkable chiefly from
the apathy and lack of interest. The
total number of votes cast was 200 and of
these DR.. w. A. Burlelgh received 129,
James IL. Garlock II and Lieut.. Gustavus
Maiden 3. The last named candidate
was run as a Josh" and indicates how
lightly the election was regarded, DR..
Burleigh was supported by the saloon
men generally and there were probably
dozen workers out for him, which was
the probable cause of his receiving the
majority of the votes. A dozen resolute
men for either of the two principle can.
didates would have resulted in the cleo
ton of their favorite. Lieutenant Gus
tavus Maiden received his three com.
plimentary votes with great exultation
and is as proud as if he WINS sure of being
elected president.-Yellowstone Journal.

finished, will cost about $4,000.
Our newly appointed road supervisor
S. d. Wyman, has done some excellen
work on the road leading to the Yankee
Jim bench.
A new road has been graded coming
into the old one above tho steep hill al
the head of Republic street. By means
of the grade this steep pitch is entirely
done away with, and an easy grade is
obtained the entire length of the hill
leading to the Lcnch.
The placers situated OH the head Of
Clarks Fork Of Henderson mountain,
known as Cutters Placer Grounds, were
worked for about six weeks this summer
and paid well.
The following is a description of the
Elkhorn mine, one of the best devel-
opcd mines in the camp, and one from
which considerable ore has been sold
the last two years. 1t is owned by Geo.
Fisher. The Elkhorn mine is situated
on the south side of Red mountain. 1t
is developed by two shafts and three
tunnels. The upper tunnel, known as
the discovery tunnel, is 95 feet in length
and is tracing a fine vein of ore. A
wing is being sunk, 55 feet from the
mouth of the tunnel. The wing is 50
feet deep; ore body in some parts from
two To six feet wide, The ore in tunnel
and wing averages from 80 to 20 per cent
lead, and 20 to so ounces in silver.
Only very recently, in making an up
raise from tunnel to surface, in order 10
get air, body of sand carbon ore was
encountered. from two to four feet wide,
which assays 10 3-5 ounces in silver and
Sl9i in gold.
One hundred and iiity feet further
down the hill,a a shaft Is being sunk,
which is now 25 feet in depth, on good
vein of ore from four to six feet wide;
considerable water in shaft. A tunnel
is being run 100 feet below shaft to tap
and drain same. 1t is now 102 feet in
length. AT this depth fine vein of ore
was found, twelve feet in width. There
is also another tunnel being run still
further down the hill, which will tap the
mine at depth of 800 feet. This tun.
tel is now l65 feet in length. On the
summit of the mountain shaft is being
sunk. The ore is of different nature
from any yet found, being strongly in
clined to copper.
Development is being pushed forward
on the Black Warrior, Morning Star and
Shoe Fly mines. A small force of men
has recently been put to work on each of
them. Your; truly, LONESOME.

THEY "DoPED" THE GEYsER.

DIR. Hunter says that no one should
visit the Park nowadays without TAX
ing box of soap along. When this is
done there is no need to wait long for a
geyser to go off. Simply take a few bars
of soap, throw them into the geyser, and
in few minutes, Off goes the hot water.
On Sunday, while Rev. Frank Lewis was
preaching at the upper geyscr basin,
some ladies placed a few bars of soap in
Tile crater of the Bee Hive, and then at
tended divine service. The sermon had
proceeded but little while when some
one outside yelled, "Bee Hivew The
congregation arose as one man, when
the preacher, raising his hands, said: 1--WE
will adjourn five minutes to witness the
wonders of nature" Whereupon the
whole congregation hastily surrounded
the spouting geyser and witnessed one of
the grandest sights to be seen in the
Park. Thus has the ingenuity of man
overcome the inactivity of nature. What

given to Cottonwood who came under

heat paid the few who had the temerlty
to back Cottonwood, SG5.20,-that is, a
profit of 5000. In the fourth heat Cot
tonwood started out with an exhibition
of the staying qualities which enable
Clark Chiefs sons to trot the sixth heat
as quickly and as easily as the first. He

the most exciting of the meeting, the time

Enthusiastically happy at the result.
On Friday evening Cottonwood Chief,

the track for the best three heats in five,

800 each. 1t lacked hour of sundown,
yet the CONSERVATION and c!amoring of
the ''sure thing men who make the
Helena races medium with which to
line their pockets, induced the judges to
postpone the race until next If orning,
when it was won by Ida D, according to
programme. After hard trotting and
exceptionally good time, Cottonwood
came from the stable in bad form and
could not be warmed up sufficiently to
make him repeat his record OF the previ.

The Extra Session

The comuling session may ostensibly
have been called for the sole purpose of
rectifying the blunders enumerated, and
of so amending ambiguous laws as to
make them susceptible Of intelligence in
;crpretation and practical application,
but it is suspiciously entertained that a
full-fedged Ethiopian, fguratively speak
ing, Will come to the surface after the
session opens. Our legislator, as far as
heard from, have expressed themselves
in favor of remaining at the extra session
only short time-just long enough to
attend to the business mentioned in the
governors proclamation. No new lcsis-
lation or schemes of doubtful public
policy should he considered. Only those
measures which are claimed to need
amendment should receive the attention
of our legislators. When they have
finished that business they should re-
turn to the bosom of their constituents,
contentcd with having performed their
duty. by SO doing special legislation
and scheming will be trottled. We look
for the governors message, which will
be read at the opening of the session
with something akin to feyerish
interest. Should the fine old gem
